Ian Poulter surrenders Turkish Airlines Open lead

Ian Poulter surrenders his six-shot cushion at the Turkish Airlines Open as Australian Wade Ormsby swoops to the top of the leaderboard after three rounds.

Ian Poulter has thrown away his six-shot lead at the Turkish Airlines Open by carding a third-round 75.

The Ryder Cup star held a formidable position at the top of the leaderboard after shooting 66 and 64 on the first two days at the Montgomerie Maxx Royal.

However, the 38-year-old made three bogeys and a double to allow Australian Wade Ormsby to storm to the front following a 68 which included an eagle at the last which took him to 12-under-par.

Poulter is a shot back and tied for second alongside English counterpart Lee Westwood and Marcel Siem, who needs to win in Turkey as he chases world number one Rory McIlroy at the top of the money list.

American Brooks Koepka and Danny Willett are at 10-under-par, while first-round leader Miguel Angel Jiminez is still in contention going into the last day after his round of 71 left him on nine-under.
